Wizard Search
WIZARD SEARCH, The Magic of Larlion, Book 4.
The war ends in victory for Beneban and his friends, but his enemy’s evil lingers on. Enspelled by dark magic and fearing that his own magic is gone with the death of the harkowl, Beneban disappears. Wandering with his magic sword, his giant feline companion, and a faithful tiny Worf servant, he is lost.
New beginnings spring out of the peace in Larlion. The Forest Lady returns to her beloved Forest to heal her lonely heart and raise her fast-growing family. The Vardraken queen and her wizard consort settle at the Great Shrine and realize that ice dragons may be easier to raise than magical children.
The Grand Lar, healing from Ztavin’s malevolent spell, finds joy in his friendship with a lovely and spirited tavern keeper. A new adventure begins as he sends an army to help his Ogdol friends retake their neighboring kingdom.
With Beneban seeming lost to all hope, will Laraynia find comfort in the arms of the Mergol King? Can Forest magic and the Grand Lar’s power bring the young wizard back from the brink of death in time to foil the rise of their old enemy and save Og-dan from darkness?

WIZARD STORM
The Magic of Larlion Book 3
A fatherless wizard is no match for royalty. So Beneban, shaken by loss, leaves his noble lady, Laraynia, for a dangerous quest. With the Grand Lar and Trog as his traveling companions, he journeys to the remote Ogdol homeland on the far western shore of Larlion. Magic sword in hand, he battles many perils along the way. It seems that the black wizard Ztavin’s evil magic is gone, but who is threatening the Ogdol throne?
Laraynia is left behind as the new Lady of the Great Shrine. Uprooted from her beloved Forest and seemingly deserted by Beneban, she struggles to defend the Shrine from danger on every side. Her wizard father Nigeran, Queen Varakin, and Vari’s fierce ice dragons fight by her side, as does the handsome Mergol king, who offers his friendship… and more. Laraynia still longs for Beneban's return, but how long will she wait?
When the threat becomes clear, the combined forces of the Great Shrine and Larlion rally their allies to converge on the Dark Fortress. The mystical Harkowl has shown them the way, lending magical aid to battle the evil wizard who threatens them all.
With catapults, ice dragon sorties, warriors wielding magical swords, and armies attacking from every side,
can the tiny Worf, Pym, save the day?
